Contextual Overview
10 "‘No lay person may eat anything holy. Neither a priest's lodger nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy, 11 but if a priest buys a person with his own money, that person may eat the holy offerings, and those born in the priest's own house may eat his food. 12 If a priest's daughter marries a lay person, she may not eat the holy contribution offerings, 13 but if a priest's daughter is a widow or divorced, and she has no children so that she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food, but no lay person may eat it. 14 "‘If a man eats a holy offering by mistake, he must add one fifth to it and give the holy offering to the priest. 15 They must not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites contribute to the Lord , 16 and so cause them to incur a penalty for guilt when they eat their holy offerings, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass,.... The punishment of sin: either the strangers,
when they eat their holy things; the holy things belonging to the priests, which they permitting them to do, suffer them to be liable to the punishment incurred thereby, or else the priests themselves; so the Septuagint version renders the word "themselves"; and in like manner Jarchi interprets it; and then the sense may be, according to the Targums of Jonathan and Onkelos, that the priests shall bear the punishment of their sins,
"when they shall eat the holy things in uncleanness,''
which is what is forbidden them in the former part of the chapter; but this seems to be too remote; rather the former sense is best:
for I the Lord do sanctify them; both the priests, to whom the holy things belong, and the holy things for their use, and the use of their families, and them only.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses are rather difficult. Their meaning appears to be: âThe holy things of the children of Israel which are heaved before Yahwehâ (see Leviticus 7:30) âshall not be profaned; and they shall incur a sin of trespass who eat of their holy things (so as to profane them).â
